Tolerable.
October, bearable. September, no. January-August, should be hung drawn and quartered.

Nope, Sinterklaas songs all the way!
Spoiler Sinterklaas is the Dutch tradition with the this year 'famous' Zwarte Piet. (Its a Bit Christmas-like, I admit)
He was welcomed in the Netherlands today(he's in Spain the rest of the year  ).
The actual 'Sinterklaas' day is 5th December. Christmas Songs will only appear after that, now we(well, not me) sing Sinterklaas songs

You Dutchies are weird.
Walking round a shopping centre while some bloke from the 70's keeps singing "snow is falling" when it clearly isn't is weird and, quite frankly, irritating. |

Christmas related items of all kind should only be allowed in December. Period.

Two funny stories on that:
The first was three or four years ago here in Ireland. Just the week before Halloween, the first Christmas decorations popped up in Tesco... Ridiculous some would say. But then again, for the next two years I was always knew that Halloween was around the corner whenever I saw the first christmas themed chocolate or the like in the shops. Thankfully they have scaled it down a little bit now...
The other one is even weirder. A good few years back, I was in Canada for summer holidays and happened to stop by in Calgary. I was sick one of the days I was there and just hung around the Hotel watching TV when I saw the weirdest ad for a christmas shop in Calgary, with the jingle being (and I kid you not!): ITS CHRISTMAS IN JULY...
I found said christmas store a day later when I was casually strolling through the city centre and they were playing Christmas music in there and the owner or store clerk (it wasnt that small of a shop) was wearing a christmas themed jumper with millions of reindeer on it... I think my Jaw has never dropped so quickly in my life!

I quite agree.

In mid-September I walked into Morrison's supermarket to find, to my horror, a shelf full of packets of mince pies with the word 'Christmas range' spangled across the packaging in some garish manner. Upon closer inspection I discovered the sell-by date: 15th October

Sell by date, 15 October, why, that's just dumb, no one would eat mince pies in September-October, it's like having Easter eggs in January, you probably can nowadays, I wouldn't mind Cream Eggs all year round though mmmmmmmmmmm,mmmmmmmm,,,mmmmmm |

Why is that? Don't have the patience, can't point out other players moves?
I myself am not the best player, but I have discovered that taking your time can help a huge deal.

Elo is the rating system used in the chess world. Mine is 1775 or something I believe

Join the club!
Really, we should make a club. If you are as bad as you say, we should play, at least one of us will know what victory tastes like this way |

There should only be one socially accepted Christmas song, and that is 'Driving home for Christmas'.
